This is a self-contained city.
Apart from the four main parks
(Magic Kingdom, Epcot,
Disney-MGM Studios and Animal
Kingdom), there are three water
parks, a shopping district, 22
hotels, countless eateries, a
police force, transport systems,
medical centres, even kennels
for the pooch. Watch out for the
mouse.
In
its first year, Disney World saw
over 10 million visitors, and it
remains one of the world's top
tourist destinations, now
attracting more than 20 million
visitors a year. It's also the
world's biggest amusement
resort, covering an area twice
the size of New York's
Manhattan. It has its own
transport system, emergency
services, police force, energy
plant and more than 20,000
employees. It would have made
Walt very, very happy.

A
combination amusement park, aquarium
and beer garden, SeaWorld is fine
family entertainment. If you like
leaping dolphins, sliding sea lions
and crashing whales, you're in for a
treat. Highlights include the Kraken
roller-coaster, dolphin nursery,
Terrors of the Deep aquarium and the
ever-popular otters.
Not
quite as crass as it sounds,
SeaWorld has some entertaining and
educational marine theme exhibits.
The park also puts its money where
its mouth is, sending out a SeaWorld
Animal Rescue Team to rescue
endangered manatees and restore them
to health. One of the best animal
rescue outfits in the country, the
team is partially funded by park
admissions.

So you
want to be in pictures and the only
offers you've had are for
'experimental' films made by creeps?
Then Universal Studios may be more
your style, a place to live out your
wildest film screen fantasies while
remaining fully clothed.
Like
Universal Studios in Hollywood,
Orlando's Universal Studios is a
combination working movie studio and
theme park. What this means
essentially is that you can admire
stars from afar and live vicariously
through them.

To some
people, the finest words ever spoken by an
American were Neil Armstrong's 'One small
step for man, one giant leap for mankind,'
spoken as he became the first man to walk on
the moon in 1969. Since then, we Earthlings
have had a longstanding love affair with
space travel and the scientists who make it
possible. There's no better place to stand
in awe of the 'right stuff' than the Kennedy
Space Center, off the coast of central
Florida.
